So, what can Gryphon Zena flaunt? First of all, the traditional "double mono" balanced design for the Danish company and work in pure class A with zero feedback. The rotating regulator of the Athena model has been replaced with a discrete one with 43 steps of 2 dB each. The element base, as usual, is ultra–high class - SMD metal-foil resistors, Pickering relays.
With a battery of capacitors with a capacity of 90,000 UF per channel, Gryphon Pandora has enough energy reserve to power most integrated amplifiers or power amplifiers. The excess power supply ensures reliable control, wide dynamic range and signal purity without any restrictions. Additionally, the Gryphon Pandora power supply provides energy to an external unit or an embedded Gryphon Legato Legacy phono corrector board.
The Gryphon Audio Essence Preamplifier is equipped with a pair of XLR connectors and three RCA inputs. The internal wiring is completely missing - all the circuitry is mounted on printed circuit boards. Microprocessor control allows you to fully customize the Gryphon Audio Essence Preamplifier "for yourself" by selecting the maximum signal level, starting values and calibrating any input within 8 dB.
